Jacobs Solutions stock opened at USD 143.84 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 22, 2026, below its 52-week high of USD 168.44 and above its low of USD 105.68. The latest contract gives the engineering group a concrete infrastructure reference point in Germany.
German project adds contract visibility
According to Jacobs Solutions on September 22, 2026, Jacobs was selected by Germany's Bundesgesellschaft fuer Endlagerung to provide project support services for the Konrad Repository project in Salzgitter. The assignment covers construction-progress reviews, schedule validation, cost-plan updates and efficiency improvements for Germany's first final repository for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste.
The company release describes the project's technical and regulatory complexity, including work within existing structures, seismic considerations and compliance with mining and nuclear regulations. It does not disclose a contract value or an expected revenue contribution, so the measurable stock case remains tied to execution across the broader project portfolio.
Latest quarter beat estimates
According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, Jacobs reported USD 1.84 EPS for the quarter announced on August 4, 2026, versus a consensus estimate of USD 1.83. Quarterly revenue reached USD 2.42 billion against expectations of USD 2.40 billion, while revenue increased 8.3 percent year over year.
The comparison was positive but narrow: EPS exceeded consensus by USD 0.01, and revenue exceeded the estimate by USD 0.02 billion. The same report listed fiscal 2026 EPS guidance at USD 7.20 to USD 7.30, compared with prior-year comparable-period EPS of USD 1.62.
